Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I own nothing. I wish I did because I really did like The Covenant and I loved Reid. I think I fell in love with him. I first saw him in that episode in Bones. Holy crap, I fell in love. I went on and on about him being so hot that I looked him up and lo and behold I see him on the commercial for The Covenant and I flip out. He's gorgeous, don't you agree? Which is why this story will be about him. Because seriously, he rocks my life. So do the others!
Like I said, I own nothing which makes me sad but nevertheless I will never stop looking. My eyes are my soul. Yeah right, they just excuse me for looking at hot guys.
Pairings: I honestly don't know. Whatever makes me happy I guess.
Summary: There was something to be said about red-heads having fiery tempers. Obviously, the people who created that saying haven't met Abigail Danvers
There was something to be said about red-heads having fiery tempers. Obviously, the people who created that saying haven't met Abigail Danvers. She was your average everyday sixteen year old girl. Her hormones were raging, she liked the upcoming pop and rap scene, she liked flirting, she liked flaunting and when she had time she'd do her homework. What wasn't average was that she had a brother exactly ten months older then her with supernatural powers.
Honestly, the only wizard or warlock or sorcerer or whatever they liked to call male witches, that she knew of was…Harry Potter. Weren't females the preferred humans for magical powers? Apparently, in their messed up family magic preferred males. What-ever. That so didn't concern her. Well, it did. But that was only when she got jealous of her brother.
Which unfortunately for her but amusing to her brothers other friends (which unfortunately for her also had powers) was quite often. It wasn't her fault. It was human nature to feel jealously.
Well, at least she had one thing on her brother. She knew what it was like to be normal. However, being normal was vastly overrated.
As of right now though, normal was all she knew as she sat in her English class and watched as her Professor walked back and forth making her dizzy while going on and on about Ophelia and her love for Hamlet. Abigail rolled her eyes and laid her head on her folded arms. She started to hum softly underneath her breath. "Miss Danvers, would you care to shed your opinion on Hamlet and Ophelia?"
She lifted her head up and looked at her teacher. Her cold blue eyes staring at him definitely. "Not really."
Whispers flew about the room and her Professor smiled boldly and crossed his arms. "Why is that Miss Danvers?" He gestured around the room. "I have heard from almost everyone on this topic and yet you refuse to give your opinion. Do you not believe that Hamlet loved Ophelia?"
Abigail scoffed. "He told her to go to a nunnery. While to the minds of simpletons it means a place where, get this, nuns go, however nunnery in that day and age also meant a whorehouse. So you basically have Hamlet, who on one side has a mother who married his uncle, gets shipped off to his death and sees the ghost of his murdered father while on the other side he has a girl who is head over heels in love with him and all he tells her is that she's worth nothing just like whores." She tucked her long ebony hair behind her ears. "So in my conclusion Professor Davis, it's not that I don't believe Hamlet didn't love Ophelia, I just believe he wasn't worthy of her love. And if Ophelia had half a brain she would have cut off all ties with him before it led to her untimely death."
"So what you're saying is that Hamlet didn't deserve Ophelia's love?" Professor Davis repeated.
She cocked an eyebrow at him. "That's what I just said."
The bell rang and the class shuffled out eager for lunch. Abigail stuffed her books in her backpack and walked down the steps. She was at the door when she heard the Professor call her name. She bit back a groan. Honestly, what could he want now? She thought irritably.
"It was good to hear your opinion Abigail. I wish that you would talk more other then lay your head and wish to be anywhere but here." He sat down on his desk. "You're quite the opinionated girl."
"I'm quite aware of that." She mocked.
Professor Davis laughed. "Apparently, you're sarcastic too."
Abigail sighed. "Professor, really, is there a reason for this? If not I'm really hungry and I want to actually find a seat in the cafeteria."
He held up his hands. "I just wanted to say that you're doing well. Keep up the good work. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up giving you a recommendation for Harvard."
It was Abigail's turn to laugh. "Sorry to burst your bubble Professor but Harvard is my brother's dream not mine." She turned around and twisted the doorknob. The door was open and she was about to step out of the classroom when she heard Professor Davis speak again.
"That's right Caleb. He did extremely well in this class. I'm glad to see that you're following his paved path. How's Caleb doing anyways?"
A tight smile crossed her lips. She turned her head around. "Oh Caleb? He's just spiffing." With that she walked out of the class and slammed the door shut.
Yes, Abigail Danvers was fuming with anger. It seemed that wherever she went, whoever taught her always seemed to teach her older brother first.
She hated that she had shoes to fill. She hated even more that she knew those shoes would be too big for her.
Big houses meant nothing to Abigail when all she did was eat and sleep in it. In the morning she'd get up, get dressed and catch a ride with her brother. Sometimes when her brother was busy she'd catch the bus or walk. It depended on how she was feeling that day. On this particular day, she walked. It was Friday and all she wanted to do was eat catch a little bit of sleep, get dressed and go to Nicky's. She and Nicky made a deal a year ago when she was fifteen. It also helped that she was friends with his niece. By the time she reached home it was already starting to get dark. She fished out her keys and unlocked the door. She opened it, walked in and closed it. She frowned when she heard voices from the living room. On closer inspection she realized that it was her brother and his friends.
She walked in and tightened her grasp on the straps of her backpack. She looked around. "Where's mom?" She asked her brother.
Caleb looked up and smiled at his sister. "Hey." She nodded back. He shrugged. "We came and she was gone. My guess is that she went to the barn."
Abigail nodded and made an O shape with her mouth. She looked at the three other boys and nodded at them. Pogue Parry nodded back and flashed her a smile that she guessed made his girlfriend Kate Tunney melt. Tyler Sims lifted his right hand and waved at her muttering a hello. She turned around and watched as Reid Garwin lifted his eyebrows at her as his eyes roamed over her body. She ignored the flutter her stomach made and turned back around to her brother. "Are you going to Nicky's tonight?" She asked innocently.
Caleb looked at her. "Yeah, why?"
"Can I get a ride with you?" She asked.
"No." Caleb didn't waste anytime answering her.
"Caleb, come on. Please."
"No."
"Why not? Give me one reason why I can't go."
"You're sixteen." Caleb answered. "Is that a reason good enough?"
"Caleb, Claire will be there and you know that Nicky would never let anything happen to his niece and you know me. Please Caleb." Abigail looked at him, her eyes pleading.
"Abby," He said getting up; he put his hands on her shoulders. "Just listen to me this once. No you can not go to Nicky's. You're sixteen."
"You were sixteen when you first went. It's not like this will be the first time either, so why are you being like this?"
"I said no Abby."
"Yeah Abby, you should listen to your older brother." Reid teased.
She growled at him. "Shut your mouth Garwin or I'll staple it shut." She snapped.
"I know you did not just say-" He was silenced when Caleb narrowed his eyes at him.
"Abby…no."
"Why not?!" She raised her voice. "Is it because you think I can't take care of myself? Well gee Caleb, I may not have powers like you and your other friends do but I know how to take care of myself. And if you want proof go ask Aaron Abbot. I'm pretty sure he'll tell you."
"What does Aaron Abbot have to do with you?" Pogue wondered.
"That seals the deal." Caleb said. "You're not going."
She stomped her feet and stared up at Caleb. He stared back at her. She let out a loud curse and turned around. Her hair, now in a ponytail, swinging with her. She stopped at the entrance of the living room and turned back around. "Oh and Caleb? Professor Davis was wondering how you were doing." She spat venom dripping from every word. She turned back around and stomped up the stairs.
Caleb sadly looked at the spot where his sister had once occupied. He knew what she meant by the comment even though it baffled his friends. He wondered idly if his sister hated him as much as she hated being compared to him.
She sat down on her bed the phone on her ear. "It's not fair Kate." She complained into the phone. Even though there was a year age difference between Kate Tunney and herself Kate was always there for her. Being the only girl and surrounded by guys for most of her life with the exception of Claire, Kate took on the role as being the older sister for Abigail. "You were all sixteen the first time you guys went to Nicky's."
"Sweetie," Kate said, sitting on her own bed in Spenser Academy. "Your brother is just trying to look out for you. While I don't agree with him because I know you can take care of yourself, I can see where he's coming from."
"I know. I just want to have fun. For one night I want to Abigail Danvers. Not Abigail Danvers the sister to the Almighty and Great Caleb Danvers."
"How about this, I'll make you a deal. Are you listening?" Kate asked.
Abigail nodded. "I'm listening."
"Okay, you get your stuff ready whatever you're going to wear tonight and put it into a bag. I'll come pick you up in ten minutes. I'll bring you back here to my dorm and we'll get ready here. That way you'll come with me, we'll have fun and then you'll leave with me. Would that be okay with you?"
"Kate, seriously?" Abigail asked excitedly.
"Abby, sweetie, I know what its like to have an older brother so yes, seriously. Wear something sexy. Impress some boys. I want you to have fun tonight. Be Abigail Danvers."
"You are God-send." Abigail stated.
"Why thank-you. I'm sure Pogue would agree too."
"Ew…too much information."
Kate laughed. "I'm leaving now, so get ready. Bye honey."
"Bye Kate."
Once Abigail hung up she shot off her bed and rummaged through her closet. She examined her clothes and picked a few bottoms and shirts off their hangers. She bent down and grabbed her dancing bag. She threw the contents out and put the new ones in. She grabbed her shoes and shoved them in with the clothes. Next she crossed to her bureau, opened the top drawer, taking her make-up bag, brush and some accessories with her. She plunged them into the bag and zipped it up. She walked out her bedroom door and raced down the stairs.
She sighed as she poked her head into the living room. "Kate's coming to pick me up." She stated. Without waiting to hear the response she opened the door and walked outside. She walked down the pathway and opened the gate.
She waited for Kate on the sidewalk looking back at the mansion that loomed over her.
She did a once over in Kate's car before they got out. She could hear the music vibrate as they made their way closer to the teen club. She looked down at what she was wearing. After an hour and a half of debating on what she should wear they settled on white jean Capri pants with a gold sequined shirt that matched her gold flats. Abigail fingered her pentagram necklace that Caleb gave her for her thirteenth birthday. She remembered what he said when he gave it to her too.
'Just because you don't have powers like me doesn't mean that you're not special. This necklace is to remind you that whatever happens, I'm your brother. And despite the fact that I have powers and you don't, you'll always come first to me.'
It was the first time that Abigail saw her brother look at her with his eyes shining and for that moment she forgot how everyone compared her to him. She forgot the expectations and relished in the fact that no matter what happened Caleb Danvers really did care about his younger sister.
"You ready to have fun?" Kate asked smiling at the sixteen year old.
Abigail nodded. "I'm ready to go in the back room with a hottie."
"You mean Reid?" Kate laughed at Abigail's facial expression. "Abby, I see the way you look at him. Just be glad that Caleb doesn't see it or else he'd beat both of your asses."
"I don't like Reid." Abigail muttered.
"Denial," Kate started, "Isn't just a river in Egypt."
She laughed harder when Abigail blushed.
Nicky's was packed when they walked in. Teenagers from both public and private were there to unwind. Abigail grinned as she noticed the males who didn't go to Spenser. She looked at the bar and her grin turned into a smile as she saw her friend Claire talking with her uncle. She nudged Kate. "I see Claire." She yelled over the music. "I'm going to talk to her."
Kate nodded. "I'm going to Pogue. You know where. Have fun and be safe." The darker skinned girl watched at Abigail made her way over to her redheaded friend. She smiled at the black-haired girl knowing that tonight was all about her. She looked to the corner and caught sight of her boyfriend. She walked over and sat down on his lap. He looked surprised to see her but kissed her not a moment later.
"Kate?" Caleb yelled, "Where's Abby?"
"With Claire." She yelled back. She smiled sheepishly and watched as all four guys turned their heads to catch a glimpse of the sixteen year old.
Reid whistled. "No way is that your sister Caleb. She's hot." He winced when Caleb slapped him on the head.
"She's my sister." Caleb hissed.
Kate hit him on the arm. "Leave her alone and let her have some fun." She ordered.
They all watched as Claire made her way over to the jukebox and put her quarter in. a familiar tune rang out and Abigail's head whipped back to her friend. She threw her head back and laughed. She slithered in between the people fully aware of the stares she was getting. She reached Claire and joined her on the space that was slowly being packed with bodies dancing.
They see me rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
As the music pounded from the jukebox, she got lost in it. Swaying her hips and moving her body to the rhythm she was aware of the attention she was grabbing.
My music so loud
I'm swangin
They hopin that they gon catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Tryin to catch me ridin dirty
Claire gestured with her head behind her and mouthed, 'Ayden.' Abigail turned around and came face to face with Ayden Withermore. She knew him from Claire. He went to the same public school as Claire and was in the red-heads Math and English class. Claire had the decency to introduce them. She turned her head to face Claire only to find that she was having just as much fun with another male friend from school. She gave Abigail a thumbs up sign and continued dancing. Abigail gave her full attention to her dancing partner.
Police think they can see me lean
I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
Ayden was tall, green eyes and had blonde hair. Along with a rock hard body that Abigail had the pleasure of seeing he had a dimpled smile that could make any girl melt. He reminded her of another blonde boy that she tried not to think about. She hated that tried was the key word in that sentence. They danced together until the song was done and even then she knew that he was reluctant to let go. She turned to Claire and motioned to her that she was going to find Kate. Claire nodded and turned back around to her boy toy.
Abigail made her way once again through the people. Smiling and nodding to the people she knew. Once she reached the table she was looking for she grabbed a seat next to Tyler Sims. She smiled at Kate. Kate leaned over the table. "What I want to know is who the boy you were dancing with is."
Abigail laughed. "His name is Ayden Withermore and he's a friend of Claire's."
"He's hot." Kate said. She kissed Pogue's cheek afterwards.
Abigail turned towards her brother. She saw his sour look. "Don't be mad. I just wanted to have some fun tonight."
"The way you were dancing with that guy, you've had more then enough fun."
Abigail turned her head slowly towards Reid. She smiled at him. "I'm sorry is that supposed to mean something?" She sat back. "Last time I checked you weren't my keeper and I know that you aren't now either. So do me a favor and but out." She sighed and rubbed her head. Suddenly she wasn't feeling that well. She looked at Caleb when he stood up. "You're going home?"
He nodded. "I've got to get up early tomorrow."
She got up with him. "I'll go too." She turned to Kate. Kate stood up and hugged Abigail. "I'll get my stuff from you later on." Kate nodded. "Thanks Kate. For tonight. I needed that."
Kate laughed and said. "What you need is that boy."
"Trust me, I've had him." Abigail laughed along with the dark-skinned girl.
She smiled at both Pogue and Tyler kissing them on the cheek. She looked at Reid. She took Caleb's half full beer and poured it on his head. She tapped his cheek. "Have a nice night Reid."
She smiled as she watched the table laugh and laughed herself when she saw her brother laugh along too.
As they exited out of Nicky's Caleb put his arm around Abigail's neck and it made her smile softly.
Maybe the brother she knew wasn't as gone as she first thought he was.
Okay so what do you guys think? I just watched the Covenant movie again and it's been bugging me. I know it's been done before but I just needed to get it out. I know that it's a long first chapter but I need to get the introductions done and over with. So this would take place a week before everything starts and hopefully the next chapter will have more brother and sister interaction because they play a big part in each other's lives. Or at least in the story.
Be warned that it may be slightly AU in a way ad things may change from the movie. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully you all liked and please leave a review. It would be most helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to read it!
